Unsurprisingly, the entire device is built out of plastic. It has a fabric-like texture pattern on both the lid and the base. Interestingly, they are both fairly resistant to flex, and significantly less bendy than the Vostro 15 3510, which we’ve tested recently.
Please be aware that the RAM in this unit has been upgraded in-house by our team of experts. As a result of this, the original box seal may be broken. Today, we ask the age-old question – how cheap is too cheap? There is a very thin line between cheap and affordable, and we’re going to see if the Lenovo V15 Gen 2 is going to provide the value it should. On the bright side, the inside ports offer one SODIMM slot for memory expansion, an M.2 PCIe x4 slot for storage, and a 2.5-inch SATA drive bay. In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering. While there is an IPS 1080p display option, we weren’t able to find one in our region, so we had to settle for a 1080p TN panel. If you have a choice, go for the IPS panel.The bottom panel houses two speaker cutouts, as well as a ventilation grill. You can see parts of the fan peaking through the vent. Hot air, respectively, is being exhausted from a slit in between the lid and the base. The next figure shows how well the display is able to reproduce really dark parts of an image, which is essential when watching movies or playing games in low ambient light. We also didn’t expect the touchpad to be this good. Well, it is not the best out there, but it’s clearly one of the best in its class. Lenovo V15 Gen 2 doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment. This makes it comfortable for long periods of work in this aspect. We estimate Windows 11 support will end in October 2031. However, this laptop may be compatible with a future version of Windows that gets support beyond this date
One of the reasons for the good battery life is the efficiency. The AMD processors this laptop comes with are really lenient on the battery. At the same time, they are quite powerful. The fact that you can pair this notebook with an 8-core/16-thread CPU is simply mindblowing. Lenovo V15 will keep your business productive and your data secure, while its thinner, smaller design and narrower side bezels put a clean, professional look on your desk - or wherever you choose to use it. Not so mindblowing is the I/O. While it is good in the width of its coverage, some ports leave room for improvement. For example, one of the USB Type-As is 2.0, while the USB Type-C port can only be used for data transfer. And there is no SD card slot anywhere to be found. Still, we’ve included other color spaces like the famous DCI-P3 standard used by movie studios, as well as the digital UHD Rec.2020 standard. Rec.2020, however, is still a thing of the future and it’s difficult for today’s displays to cover that well. We’ve also included the so-called Michael Pointer gamut, or Pointer’s gamut, which represents the colors that naturally occur around us every day. As expected from a TN panel – the viewing angles are terrible. We offer images at 45° to evaluate image quality.Battery: These systems do not support batteries that are not genuine Lenovo-made or authorised.

This little something is called a specs sheet. You can get this laptop with up to the Ryzen 5 5700U, which is an 8-core CPU with multithreading, and a very fast integrated graphics card. It is really counterintuitive to find such a processor in a laptop that costs less than a set of tires for your car. Traditionally, this series brings a huge amount of cost-cutting with itself. Through the years, we’ve seen plastic builds, slow hardware, and unattractive displays. However, there is something that tells us this year will be different.With its four-sided narrow bezels, the V15 Gen 2 laptop’s display boasts an impressive 88% screen-to-body ratio. This keeps your eyes on its 15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) antiglare display, available at up to 300 nits. Combined with two 1.5W stereo speakers, Dolby Audio™, and dual array microphones, the display lends itself to an enjoyable audiovisual experience. This laptop's FHD (1920 x 1080) display yields vivid colors and clarity, with narrow side bezels to enhance the view. The measured maximum brightness of 256 nits in the middle of the screen and 229 nits as an average for the whole area, with a maximum deviation of 18%. The Correlated Color Temperature on a white screen is 5780K – warmer than the optimal for the sRGB standard of 6500K, which is not bad. In the illustration below you can see how the display performs from a uniformity perspective. In other words, the leakage of light from the light source.
AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series Mobile Processors with Radeon™ Graphics push the Lenovo V15 Gen 2 (15" AMD) laptop through your to-do list. On top of that, up to 16GB memory and a hybrid combination of up to 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD and 2TB HDD storage allow for efficient multitasking, speedy data access, and plenty of storage. Our “Design and Gaming” profile delivers optimal color temperature (6500K) at 140 cd/m2 luminance and sRGB gamma mode. Generally, using this laptop has been a pleasure. With the exception of the horrid TN display, everything about it begs you to go and buy it. If you are able to find an IPS-equipped model, you should definitely go for it.
Lenovo V15 Gen 2 is equipped with a Full HD TN panel with a model number Innolux N156HGA-EA3 (LEN9051). Its diagonal is 15.6″ (39.62 cm), and the resolution is 1920 х 1080 pixels. The screen ratio is 16:9, and we are looking at a pixel density of – 142 ppi, and a pitch of 0.18 х 0.18 mm. The screen turns into Retina when viewed at distance equal to or greater than 60cm (24″) (from this distance one’s eye stops differentiating the separate pixels, and it is normal for looking at a laptop). This is a graded product. A1 products are "as new" but have been box opened. All A1 products will be fully bubble-wrapped for transportation.
